EXCELLENT Based on 4 reviews Mary Anne E2024-07-28Verified Life changing adventure with best guide (and person) We are avid world travelers with our young family (currently in Galapagos!), and Mawe (Raphael as guide) was our best all around adventure to date. He is an exceptional guide-passionate, interesting, encyclopedic knowledge, clearly loves sharing his incredible country with visitors. He went above and beyond to provide the best nature guiding. Most remarkable was him as a person-he treated my family like we were part of his. Our twins were 7 and he made sure everything was catered to their interests and needs, ie we had a lot of ‘spaghetti in the Serengeti’ and hot chocolate no matter the weather. He had such a wonderful sense of humor and attitude. We will definitely see him again someday! Lua2024-06-25Verified Unforgettable adventure with Mawe My husband and I had the incredible opportunity to visit Tanzania last April, and our journey was made extraordinary thanks to Mawe African Ventures and our exceptional guide, Raphi.From the very beginning, Raphael’s professionalism and passion for his country were clear. He meticulously prepared an itinerary that perfectly matched our interests, ensuring that every moment of our trip was memorable.One of the most remarkable experiences was our visit to the Hadza tribe. We were privileged to not only visit them but also to take part in a hunting excursion, gaining a rare insight into their traditional way of life. Raphael’s deep respect and understanding of the Hadza culture, coupled with his excellent translations and explanations, made this an incredibly enriching experience.The safaris were nothing short of spectacular. Raphael’s keen eye and extensive knowledge of the wildlife ensured we saw an abundance of animals, including the Big Five. It was amazing to see the tiny cubs with their mothers, a sight that will stay with us forever. Raphael’s ability to spot animals hidden in the tall grass with his naked eyes was truly impressive, adding an element of wonder to every game drive.An unexpected delight was our lunch experiences at local restaurants, referred to as “hotels” by the locals. These meals gave us a genuine taste of Tanzanian cuisine and culture, far from the typical tourist spots. Eating where the locals dine added an authentic touch to our trip that we will always cherish.Another highlight was our visit to a very local market. It was fascinating to see the variety of products and the freshness of the produce. Shopping alongside the locals and experiencing the vibrant market atmosphere provided a unique glimpse into daily life in Tanzania.Throughout our entire journey, Raphael made us feel safe and well-cared for. His attention to detail and dedication to our comfort and enjoyment were unparalleled. What started as a client-guide relationship quickly turned into a genuine friendship. We came to Tanzania as guests and left as friend with Raphi and Veronica his wife.If you are planning a trip to Tanzania, I cannot recommend Mawe African Ventures and Raphael enough. Their commitment to creating personalized, safe, and unforgettable experiences is truly exceptional. Thank you, Raphael, and Mawe African Ventures, for making our Tanzanian adventure an unforgettable chapter in our lives. We will be back very soon !!!!!!!!!! רינה צ2024-06-16Verified An amazing safari with an amazing guide It was an amazing trip.Rafa is an excellent and highly recommended guide.He organized everything down to the last detail.The guiding was excellent, Rafa's knowledge is huge.

My husband and I had the opportunity to go to Tanzania to do one of my bucket list trips. The trip was set up by a friend of mine who accompanied us on the trip. The trip far exceeded my expectations. This was a no stress trip all well planned out that went seamlessly thanks to our guide Raffy. From the moment we arrived at the Airport till the day we sadly left Raffy or one of his employees was there to help us and make sure everything went well. As far as the trip, you couldn't ask for more well planned out days every day was a different adventure. Seeing more animals than what I thought I could ever see in my lifetime. Raffy has been a guide for many, many years and it shows, he knew where to find the animals. He is very knowledgeable about the animals and the environment of Tanzania. He's very cognizant of giving the animals their space and not harassing them, but letting you see them in their environment. The accommodations he selected were fantastic. I couldn't ask for anything better. At 1 of the camps, I actually had 2 giraffes walk right in front of my tent. What an unbelievable experience! His 4 wheel drive vehicle "Simba" Is impeccably maintained and I felt very safe with him being the driver. The roads in the Serengeti can be very tricky. But he knew how to get around and to get that vehicle through everything. The staff at all the lodges we stayed at were so kind and gracious and we're very proud of their country.We saw so many animals from elephants, zebras, wildebeest. giraffes, leopards, lions, cheetah even down to the simple dung beetle. We especially loved eating our meals surrounded by herds of zebra and wildebeest. I highly recommend Mawe African Ventures if you're wanting a high quality Tanzanian adventure. Nancy and Dana Vihlen
